* Package name : drupal6-mod-views Version : 2.11 Upstream Author : Earl Miles (http://drupal.org/user/26979) * URL : http://drupal.org/project/views * License : GPL Programming Lang: PHP Description : views modules for Drupal 6 The Views module provides a flexible method for Drupal site designers to control how lists and tables of content (nodes in Views 1, almost anything in Views 2) are presented. Traditionally, Drupal has hard-coded most of this, particularly in how taxonomy and tracker lists are formatted. . This tool is essentially a smart query builder that, given enough information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the results. It has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides an impressive amount of functionality from these modes. . Among other things, Views can be used to generate reports, create summaries, and display collections of images and other content. . You need Views if: . * You like the default front page view, but you find you want to sort it differently. * You like the default taxonomy/term view, but you find you want to sort it differently; for example, alphabetically. * You use /tracker, but you want to restrict it to posts of a certain type. * You like the idea of the 'article' module, but it doesn't display articles the way you like. * You want a way to display a block with the 5 most recent posts of some particular type. * You want to provide 'unread forum posts'. * You want a monthly archive similar to the typical Movable Type/Wordpress archives that displays a link to the in the form of "Month, YYYY (X)" where X is the number of posts that month, and displays them in a block. The links lead to a simple list of posts for that month. . Views can do a lot more than that, but those are some of the obvious uses of Views. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
